Thanks for visuals. Did you start in the center of one wall, then start the next wall from the corner where you finished, or also start from the center on the second wall and work out?

Ah well, won’t be inviting you for dinner then...

I think you get away with it as the right hand wall has a full tile in the corner, hence you have nothing to wrap around.

Unless of course you changed the layout on the right wall to wrap the pattern round but that’s beyond what I can see. I think it looks fine regardless.

Sorry to keep posting but want to get this right.

You can see from my diagram if I work from the center of each wall it's possible to get two small tiles meeting in the corner - in this situation a complete tile in the corner is unachievable.

......then wrap the tile pattern round the wall in the shaded area of your drawing.

Why bring a brick wall into the equation then……

Personally I prefer it as @Boggs has tiled it, as it's ment to be a random pattern..
But as in most things tiling it's a personal choice....
If a client told me they want a random pattern then that's what they get...

A few more for you.

The middle tile in the picture above wraps round, only just realised!
For me they look better random but that’s my personal choice and looked better with how my corners were working out.
